TPG E-Postbox service makes headway
Privver, the Royal TPG Post subsidiary in Holland, says its consumer-bent digital letterbox service is gaining momentum.
Privver executives say 13 billers and other mailers are currently sending out e-bills, statements and other documents through the PrivverConsolidator service, which debuted in December.
Some 100,000 consumers are reportedly registered for the service. “We’re growing and growing,” boasts Privver managing director Arthur van Veen.
Biller/senders should hit 15-18 by the end of the year. Privver’s service is free to consumers but companies pay a fee to send their bills, statements, payment confirmations, newsletters and direct mail. Besides a monthly maintenance fee of 2,000 euros and a one-time set-up fee of about 50,000 euros, biller/mailers pay 30 euro cents to send out each document. The Privver system is permission-based; the consumer decides what mail he wants to get electronically and from whom.
